Story
We got her at 12 weeks old from a family on a farm in Iowa. She is now 9. She lived with a lab mix from age 2-6. She has never lived with a cat but has met one and mainly ignored her. She really enjoys being wherever we are and playing fetch with sticks. She also loves lakes/the river. She is a timid but obedient dog. She has anxiety but we believe it is from her not getting enough exercise and focus. She is scared of strangers. She gets her nails trimmed regularly. She doesn’t get carsick. She was not formally trained, but knows basic commands. She is currently wearing a Tailsaver due to her pulling out her hair due to anxiety and making it raw. Her tail is permanently missing hair at the end. We have a 19 month old that makes her anxiety worse. We’d love her to go to an individual/family who is active, will take her on regular walks, has a yard, and wants to incorporate her to all aspects of life. She does have her rabies vaccine up to date as of 12/16/25.

Story
Re-homing Ace and ash together. They are bonded at five years old from the same litter. Ace gets anxious at times. He is not friendly with strangers in the home. He does not do well with kids. He did bite our daughter when she accidentally fell on him. He did not break skin but because of this I feel like he needs to be in an adults only home. He’s very obedient and intelligent. Ash is very loyal and protective and stands at my side outside of the house. He’s also very sweet and intelligent and loved to play catch and with soccer balls. Experience with German Shepards a must.

Roscoe is a lover of people and pets and is ready for a home to call his own. He is asking for an experienced pet owner who is ready to deal with some training to make sure Roscoe understands what is his and what isn't. He has done well with dogs in previous homes and wouldn't mind a four legged friend to keep him company. Roscoe is fully potty trained and ready for a human to call his. Someone to love him with his quirks and his massive smile. Fill out an application to set up a meet with Roscoe!
